[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 4519342, member: 45230"] A database by the Chicago company Surgisphere Corp. was used in an observational study of nearly 100,000 patients [URL='https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31290-3/fulltext']published[/URL] on May 22 in the influential Lancet journal that tied the malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to a higher risk of death in hospitalized patients with the virus. The validity of the data, however, has been called into question. The Lancet first published an “expression of concern” with the study after “serious scientific questions” were brought to its attention. It then retracted the report altogether on Thursday. A separate paper, which also used the Surgisphere data, was also [URL='https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2007621']retracted[/URL] from The New England Journal of Medicine. Earlier this week the NEJM issued an “[URL='https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2020822?query=featured_coronavirus']expression of concern[/URL]” regarding the study [URL='https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2007621']published [/URL]May 1 that suggested widely used blood pressure medicines were not raising the risk of death for people with COVID-19. The Guardian [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/03/covid-19-surgisphere-who-world-health-organization-hydroxychloroquine']reports[/URL] that Surgisphere “has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology” and says that the company’s “handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model.” [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/media/network-newscasts-skip-hydroxychloroquine-report-retractions']Network newscasts skip major hydroxychloroquine report retractions, org says[/URL] [/QUOTE]
